The TB REACH’s second wave of funding has this call for proposals to fund projects that promote early and increased case detection of tuberculosis (TB) cases and ensure their timely treatment, while maintaining high cure rates within National TB Programmes.
TB REACH encourages the development and application of innovative, ground-breaking and efficient approaches, interventions, and activities that result in increased TB case detection, reduced transmission and prevention of the emergence of drug-resistant forms of TB. As suggested by its name, TB REACH focuses on reaching vulnerable people, people from poverty areas and/or people who have limited or no access to TB services.
Civil society organizations, National TB Programmes, National AIDS Programmes, governmental and non-governmental organizations, affected communities and any STOP TB Partners are eligible to apply for grants subject to the given conditions and prerequisites. Basic eligibility includes the following:
The eligible proposals should target:
– countries with per capita Gross National Income (GNI) of US $2000 or less;
OR
– sub-national populations that can be justified as economically poor, i.e. poverty pockets, in those lower middle income countries that have a per capita GNI between $2000 and $3000.
The deadline for submitting proposals for Wave 2 is 28 February 2011. For more information, visit this link.
